Rome: Empire Without Limit With Mary Beard

Mary takes an in-depth look at the question of identity and citizenship within the Roman Empire. What did it mean to be, or to become, Roman, and how did the very different parts of the Empire react to Roman rule? In the beautifully-preserved cities of Algeria, incomers and locals mixed to create flourishing communities with a distinct `more Roman than Rome' frontier identity.
